I think if we didn't have people with obsession, we'd be a much poorer society, not just materially, but emotionally. Because almost anyone that I know of that really created something special or did something hard, changed things. Was obsessed. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I mean, that was his life until he was murdered. There were just a whole bunch of cases and we sort of criticize them now.

We say, well, they were too obsessed. They didn't spend enough time with their kids and their dog. I get it. But we have an electric light bulb.

And it's also why you have relationships with people, with partners, spouses, different people, because in most of us, they round us out. They pull us a little bit in other directions. Because if we didn't have those, some people would live monk-like existences focused on one thing, whatever it is. And I think other people can help you round that out just a bit.

I think you've got to be humble enough to know who you are, the opportunities, maybe the advantages that you are enjoying, all of the things that

that mean that you are not maybe as special as you might want to believe you are, and your limitations. Now, it shouldn't stop you from trying to do things. You know, just because I am humble enough to believe I'm not the best person at X doesn't mean I shouldn't try to compete. But you need to be realistic.
